We're dividing 167998 by 79 
Our goal is to divide 167998 by 79.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 79

Advancing to step 2:
16 divided by 79 is 0 with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
The number 79 fits into 167 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 158 from 167 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 79

Step 4:
79 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 79 from 99 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 79

On to step 5:
79 goes into 209 2 times with a remainder of 51.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
Deduct 158 from 209 and we're left with 51.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 518 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
518 divided by 79 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2126.0
If we subtract 474 from 518, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
79 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2126.5
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 395 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
450 divided by 79 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2126.55
Subtract 395 from 450 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2126.55 and a remainder of 0.055.
